Tiger Yes/No ?

Pike reproduce regularly. And damn boy, your singing sucks!

I'm no boy lol . That's why I fish , my singing career never took off lol .

[jtk]

If there were muskys present(i know there not) they can breed with pike and make natural hybrids. But yes they will still be sterile.

I was just talking about that with my wife . The future looks good for pike in mass. As long as they get released !!! 

[RickWakeman]

Where did you catch them? Cheshire?

[ebour]

My bud caught a hybrid pike-rel at champlain this weekend, showed me a pic

[FishingWorcester4life]

A few years back at flint pond I had to leave then right as i came back I got a flag so as i get the flag,way in the distance another on of my flags goes up so I tell my buddy to get it, I pull up a nice perch and im excited then I hear my buddy screaming"I GOT MY FIRST PIKE" so im kind of pissed not only did i get 1 upped but that should b my fish.I ran over and right away said thats not a pike its a tiger cause they have a nice orange on the anal and pectoral fins plus they arent as green.it was about 18" was bleeding good so we rushed it back in the hole no time for pics.

If they get released it doesn't matter since idiots don't know how to handle them.  Why is it people hold pike by the eyes and release them thinking everything is ok. I guess it better then smashing them off the ice.

I was holding it different ,then it started thrashing and slid down as i was taking the picture ! Sorry to UPSET YOU !!!!!!!!! Some people are idiots ,you are correct ! I'm speaking to one right now !  Stick to your New York page .

Stocked pike can reproduce in the wild, as evidence of the small ones you're catching.  Tiger Muskies are hybrid's that are made in a lab and cannot reproduce in the wild. Tiger muskellunge are sterile hybrids created
by crossing muskellunge, Esox masquinongy, largest of all the esocids, with northern pike.

  Tm is rt tgrmski r a hybrid and engineered in a lab, but then again, with all the chemicals that were dumped into rivers and streams over the years, it is quite possible that they have been able to adapt and become fertile and produce offspring eggs, cause those little ones look like baby tgrs to me, remember life will find a way to survive, after all we do.

Really.  Your the one that thinks the fish is going to be ok with it's eyes gone and I fish in mass with some of the people on here   U. Didn't upset me. Just like to look how you SPORTSMEN keep handling your fish.  If you need to I sure someone on here and teach you how to fish    Its ok. We understand

Tell that to the pike in your avatar with the big metal clamps on his jaw. better his jaw than your hand right? You talk about handling fish but if you knew how to handle one you probably wouldn't need those right?

kieth, dont worry about what outhers think . i asked a pro pike and musky fisher from the great state of NY,@ the show last year,&many of his picts.showed him hlodingmusky by the eyes.his response wasthat  NYS.biologiest say just holding the tha way does not hurt them unless you sqeeze hard. after meeting you i have no worries that you treat all fish with respect.tell em to bite you.

[combsey]

Pike?    Try again.   and what does a devise made to handle ( tiger musky) fish and sticking your fingers in a fishes eyes have to do with each other?     If you want there are classes on line to help people tell the difference between each fish    It's ok.

Learn how to take a picture and I wouldn't have a problem. as far as im concerned you are holding a log with your jaws there. Lol

[BASSQUATCH]

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH FISHING ! BEEN DOING IT 33 YEARS ! YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN ! 

[combsey]

Not trying to bring you down.   We actually know mutual people. Just don't like seeing slim darts getting there eyes poke  out

Like I said , I've been fishing for 33 years ! I know how to unhook & hold fish with teeth . I was just trying to get a good photo of it and it was not cooperating ! I didn't squeeze its eyes out ! The BIGGIN is coming out today, soon ! I'll post the picture here

Nothing wrong with using a Boga grip or similar device to hold a fish by the jaw.  Probably a lot less damaging to the fish than sticking your hand in its gills like many do.

Thank you

[combsey]

OK so i might have came off a little wrong and i apologize to millburyman for my comments   it wasn't how i wanted it to come across      every year people post pics of pike and other fish being held up by thier eye sockets , piles of "junk fish"  invasive spieces left on the ice , and other things i don't agree with     after talking with a buddy today (prchslyr actually( one of the most chilled people i know))  i came to the conclusion that there are things on here i don't like and that there are thing that i do that piss people off on here  either way it doesnt make either person a bad person and i need to work on the wording of my thought       hopefully everyone has a good and safe end to thier icefishing season
